Saints’ Raphael Clarke Hurt Again
The Saints have three Clarkes but only old Matthew is usually healthy. Brothers Xavier and Raphael have not been able to get on the field a lot and for Raphael it could be another season missed. According to The Herald-Sun he might not be ready until halfway through the season.

The Saints list R Clarke as one of the players recovering from injury, others include Hayes, Maguire, Hudghton, Hamill and Watts. All the players, except for Raphael Clarke, are expected to be healthy for the regular season.
AFL Fantasy Impact:
None of the Clarkes at St. Kilda were going to be on many AFL fantasy teams. But forget about signing Raphael now and even in June he may not be worth signing as players will have cemented spots there under their new coach. Armitage is a player that should be cheap to purchase in AFL fantasy leagues but he should contribute, and he might have been competing with R Clarke for playing time. Obviously Dal Santo, Ball and a healthy Hayes will be the best options for AFL fantasy from the Saints’ midfield.
